cient to keep the surface temperature
of these materials below 80°C.
The minimum working (unhindered) space
in close proximity to the boiler must be
such that the boiler can be worked with
easily and safely with bare hands and with
the usual hand tools; we recommend a
minimum distance of 300 mm from up and
under, 10 mm from side and a minimum of
600 mm in front of the boiler.
CH (heating) + HW (hot water)
-
The GEPARD boilers supplies both central
heating and hot water for the home.
Non-condensing boiler with exhaust
-
vented to a chimney
Model MOV must be
fi
tted to a ventilation
system (chimney). The boiler comes
equipped with a safety device that shuts
off the gas feed if the chimney becomes
blocked.
Non-condensing boiler with forced
-
extraction of exhaust.
The MTV model is gas model
fi
tted with
a ventilation system for the intake of air
and the venting of exhaust. Thanks to
this ventilation system, the heater can be
installed in any space.
If the ventilator fails or if the chimney
becomes blocked, the pressure switch
shuts down the heater.
The boiler must be installed and
commissioned by a quali
fi
ed technician.
This ensures proper installation and
operation in compliance with valid norms.
If any maintenance, repair or adjustments
concerning the gas are needed, a quali
fi
ed
technician must be called.
PROTHERM has developed tailor-made
accessories that will help you use your
heater with maximum ef
fi
ciency.
Commissioning the boiler
2.2
Installation of the boiler and its
fi
rst start-
up must be carried out by authorised
service personnel only!
If you wish to start the boiler after it has
been commissioned, ensure that:
It is hooked up to the electricity supply
-
All the shut-offs and valves (CH, HW,
-
gas) under the boiler are open
The CH pressure is within the
-
recommended range of 1 – 2 bar.
Shutting down the boiler
2.3
Turn off the master switch.
If the boiler is to be shut down for an
extended time, close all the valves
(CH, HW, gas) underneath it. The shut-
down must take into account the water
temperature in the boiler and the outside
temperature in the given season. If there
is a danger of frost, drain all water from
the boiler, the heating system and the hot
water piping (see the paragraph 8.9 on
page 12).
